Haunting Building D

The Noble Maritime Collection's oral history project, Haunting Building D, seeks to preserve tangible mementos, like furnishings, photographs and documents, as well as intangible ones, your memories. If you worked at Sailors’ Snug Harbor or knew someone who did, if you played on the grounds and talked with the "Snugs," if you came here to sing Christmas carols, or if you knew someone who lived here, we invite you and urge you to share your memories by filling out the Haunting Building D questionnaire.
